One of Bolton’s original family homes dating back to medieval times. Set in over 2000 acres of grounds and gardens, it's one of the oldest and best-preserved manor houses in the Northwest. The hall doesn’t just have beauty going for it, it has another spookier side. There’s an eerie footprint set in flagstones created when protestant martyr George Marsh was interrogated at the Hall. He wanders the halls and is not alone; other ghosts have been sighted and there have been some strange incidents. Come and see for yourself, you never know who you might bump into.
